NEW YORK — Netflix wants subscribers to know it’s looking out for them.

For instance, the average Netflix subscriber might never guess that its dark superhero drama “Jessica Jones” might strike similar chords as the zany hijinks of “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.” Netflix is happy to help you make the connection.

Much of the attention showered on this streaming-video giant in recent years has dwelled on its insatiable appetite for original content and for creators to produce it.

“We want to appeal to as many different people as possible, and appeal to the many moods that each person has,” said vice president of product innovation Todd Yellin. “The more diverse our content, the more likely that someone, at their moment of truth about what they’re going to watch, will choose to go to Netflix.”

But this service’s multibillion-dollar annual outlay for new programming necessitates another challenge: helping each program get discovered by the subscribers

The Hewitt Police Department’s Animal Control Unit and Mutts Mayhem Emergency Search and Rescue out of Dallas located the dog before noon and collared him when he became tangled in the rope attached to the door of one of the traps they set.

“She (a rescuer) told me that she had Gus, at first I was ‘No, you don’t,’ I was shocked, I didn’t believe her, then she held up the phone and I could hear him barking and howling in the background,” said MarLee Riel, Gus’ owner.

MarLee and her husband Bobby hired the professional rescuers, a pet detective, and engaged dozens of volunteers who

Residents of the same South Jersey town were dealing with tragedy and fear on Thursday.

An 85-year-old man was killed Thursday after a tree landed on top of him in Mullica Township, police said.

COPPER CENTER (KTUU) – Search and rescue personnel have located a body in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve they believe to be 34-year-old hiker Nick Larsen.

Larsen was last seen on August 5th in the town of McCarthy.

The body was found in the Nizina River and the cause of death is “pending determination by the State Medical Examiner Office,” said Jamie Hart, a spokesperson for the National Park Service.

Hart said investigators initially had a large area to search before the backpack was located by rafters. After it was found, the NPS could narrow its search to a 15-mile stretch of the Nizina River.

Unlike Denali National Park, Wrangell-St. Elias does not require backcountry
